Arab League must be disbanded after failing to condemn UAE-Israel deal: Ansarullah
Yemen’s popular Houthi Ansarullah movement has roundly denounced the Arab League over dropping a Palestinian draft resolution in condemnation of a controversial agreement between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel, lamenting the “disgraceful” position of the organization and its denial of the Palestinian cause.
“We express our strong condemnation of the Arab League’s terrible degeneration into a level, where it simply reneges on the Palestine cause – the reason for which it was founded,” Ansarullah spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam told Yemeni Arabic-language al-Masirah television network.
“The least expectation from the Arab League is to maintain its previous positions and reject normalization at least when it cannot do anything practical to stop it. Palestine presented a draft resolution condemning the UAE-Israel normalization deal, but the Arab League refused to approve it. We believe the organization must be dissolved,” the senior Ansarullah official pointed out.
Abdul-Salam warned Palestinians that the Arab League could turn into a body working against them, saying, “We do not rule out that the Arab League would give the green light for a military aggression after an arrest campaign against Palestinians.”
The Ansarullah spokesman advised Palestinians to withdraw from the Arab League, arguing that the organization has become an apparatus in favor of Israel’s interests and is advancing US scenarios in the region.
Abdul-Salam also censured the imam of the Grand Mosque of Mecca over a sermon that was interpreted as a prelude to Saudi Arabia's normalization with Israel.
